I was going to use p2pool (my own node) as that is what I've been using for months now with some success, however, most of my new hardware is not compatible with p2pool & slush's proxy doesn't work with p2pool either (surprise, surprise ). I was using bfgminers proxy on my old system but the 30+% loss of work is too much for me to bear, so I upgraded my whole system to 13.10 (it needed doing anyway) in the hope that slush's proxy would work with it & p2pool - but no. So the p2pool merged mining node is off again. I like the idea of p2pool but it just doesn't work with most of my hardware........still.Thanks for helping me upgrade my ixcoin wallet though

Yeah, asic hardware that doesn't use the stratum protocol (as well as some that does) won't work with p2pool, & slush's stratum proxy won't work with p2pool either - making p2pool a no go for many miners unless they invest in a whole new hardware outfit that's p2pool compatible - which is what I've ended up doing. I can't believe that the devs at p2pool haven't come up with a solution to this yet (like, over a year), as this would instantly open up p2pool to a much wider potential miner base & increase their hash rate massively....So, if anybody knows of anybody who can write such a program....?

Anyways, so far so good with the latest Ixcoin wallet on Xubuntu 13.10, just thought I'd let you know - sorry it's a bit late

"Early adopters! Its not fair! They should make sure all miners know about the proposed new blockchain and set a start date in the future for the date its genesis block is to be created so miners can be ready to start mining it the moment its genesis block is created!" - Anon
